It looks like your old thermostat is just wired with a L & Calling for Heat, i.e. no N connection.
Your new thermostat appears to need a N connection that you don't have.
 
Thanks for the response. If I wanna change my old thermostat, do you know what kind of thermostat should i look for to fit the current wiring? I appreciate it if you could mention names or links
 
You need a battery powered thermostat.
The ESI one seems to have a remote sensor. If you need that then that would limit your choice.
 
I'm puzzled by what you are trying to do here. The product you show is a wireless thermostat in the sense that the temperature sensing bit is battery powered, and it sends data to the mains powered bit that you mount by the boiler, which receives the signal and turns the boiler on and off etc. It's designed to be used when you don't have a wire going to where you want a thermostat.
But you do have that wire.

Did you want "wireless" in the sense that you want to use the thermostat from your phone?
If so, the solution is a battery powered 'smart' thermostat.

One example of this (from China!)

or if you just want a better looking digital thermostat with programmer, but not operated remotely:

Your two wires need to go to the C (Com) and the NO (Normally Open) terminals. It doesn't matter which way round they go.
It doesn't need an earth, so just leave that wire with the sleeving on and not connected
